Transforming Industrial Sector

The rise of industrial technology, called as Industry 4.0, is a transformation that makes it possible to gather, analyze and manipulate data across industrial sector. It revolutionizes the manufacturing sector to an extent where autopilot becomes primary handler of complex tasks. The Big Data and Analytics; Autonomous Robotics; 3D System Integration; Internet of Things; Cloud Computing and Cyber Security; Artificial Inteligence and Additive Manufacturing; are the core sectors that have been greatly expanded with functionalities.

These courses are available for free under MOOC mode. This is emerging field, with unestimated jobs available.

Modules are also convertable to Master of Computer Science (Data Science). And fully taught by people who invent it. Not by private lecturers.

The barrier of entry for the blockchain space can oftentimes seem rather high, especially since the concept of blockchain and the benefits it provides is not yet as widely understood as other innovations. In order to overcome this barrier, this program will explore the main ideas, technologies, and ecosystem surrounding blockchain technology from both technical and non-technical standpoints. This program will help you develop the intuition for thinking of blockchain systems. You will learn the key strengths and motivations of distributed ledger technology, and also be exposed to the underlying mechanisms by which they function.
Understanding blockchain architecture and the new paradigm of scalable, decentralized applications is imperative for future-proofing your career. Blockchain-related jobs are the second fastest growing in today’s labor market and opportunities are not limited to technical research or development positions; there is a need for project management, community support, law, design, and more.

Finance and technology have a very long history of intertwined evolution, from the earliest coins to today’s cryptocurrencies. However, in the past decade, the speed of change combined with an ever-increasing range of new entrants – from startups to tech firms, from global markets to emerging markets – are transforming the world of finance at an unprecedented pace. This can be seen most clearly in the context of large emerging markets including China and India.
